Angry driver: Man punches window, breaks mirror, gets jail

Seattle police have arrested a man in Leschi for road rage and then some.

Police say he used his car to bump a woman’s car on Wednesday afternoon. Then he punched her driver’s side window, broke off a mirror and threatened that he had a gun.

Mr. Drive Friendly is in jail, courtesy of the Seattle Police Department.

Police said a woman was driving about 4 p.m. on Martin Luther King Jr. Way when the man pulled up behind her. He began driving aggressively and hit her car.

He followed the woman to MLK and East Yesler Way.

He ran back to the woman’s car, punched the window several times and broke the mirror. He drove away.

And the woman followed him to the 100 block of 28th Avenue South. The suspect and another person got out the car, and the suspect yelled that he had a gun and reached into his pants as if he was pulling out a pistol.

Police did not later find a gun.

But officers did find trouble when they responded at 4:20 p.m. to the site on 28th Avenue South.

The woman pointed out the man, who was with several others on the corner. He was hostile to police and friends and family with him were threatening and taunting officers.
